Despite debuting this year, the roots of A Doll’s House actually stretch back much further. In the late 80s, the emerging three-piece developed a local following as part of the Sunset Strip music scene in Los Angeles, California. Life would proceed to take over for the next few decades, and each member’s musical pursuits would take a back seat in favor of a professional career trajectory, but their bonds with one another remained strong. By September 8th, 2023, the newly assembled quartet returned to fine form with “Hey Wait,” the carrier single off their upcoming debut album Annum, which saw production by Tesla bassist Brian Wheat.
I caught up with Seth Rafkin, founding bassist of A Doll’s House, to discuss his formative influences, the catalyst for the band’s reunion, working with Brian Wheat on their album, and leaving their own imprint in a modern music climate.
